Chapter 257 It Turns Out They Are Not Enemies
The two had always thought they had hidden themselves well, but now hearing these words was like a bolt from the blue, and they were so shocked that they were speechless.
Feng Aoqing approached the two of them with a beautiful smile.
"Madam, we have no ill intentions..." Mu Youran shouted, "Prince!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Yu Wen Zheng kneeling on the ground, holding his stomach, his face pale.
"Just you! You think I'm easy to bully now that King Yu is gone?! It's the Queen, right? Then go tell her, if she messes with me again, the poison I have here will be a thousand times more powerful than what she suffered last time! I don't care whose mother she is!"
Mu Youran no longer had time to explain and ran to Yu Wenzheng to check on him. His face was already blue and purple.
"Ma'am! The antidote! Someone wants to see you! We are not enemies!"
However, as she was talking, Mu Youran began to feel severe abdominal pain.
"Take care of yourself first!" Feng Aoqing looked gloomy.
She had originally thought that although Tian Yao was not good in every way, there were still a few good people around him and she was willing to get close to him. She didn't expect that she had made a wrong choice in the end.
It seems that those who do charity are not necessarily good people, they may also be atonement for their sins.
The two men fell to the ground and Feng Aoqing turned around to leave when she heard someone walking behind her.
When Feng Aoqing turned around, she had already drawn the soft sword given to her by Han Lang from her waist. She had practiced it very well.
"Feng Huajun..."
As soon as Prince Cong Yuwen Zhao opened his mouth, Feng Aoqing had already pointed his sword at his throat.
With a sharp sword in front of him, he stood with his hands behind his back, with the appearance of dragon blood and phoenix marrow, and the grace of ancient pine and cypress.
"I just borrowed this place from Prince Han when I went to Fenghua Jun." Yuwen Zhao glanced at the two people on the ground. "You misunderstood them. Please help them detoxify."
Even though human life was at stake, he was surprisingly calm and composed.
Feng Aoqing cried out "Oh my God" and hurried to feed the two of them medicine.
"Brother! Why don't you just come to me directly? You're taking such a long detour. I thought they were sent by the queen to kill me!" Feng Aoqing couldn't help but blame.
Yuwen Zhao smiled and said, "I was negligent. I forgot that Feng Huajun is an army all by herself. She is not an ordinary woman."
Princess Chang Huaizhen of Prince Cong knelt beside the two men and looked at them.
As soon as he took the medicine, his complexion returned to normal.
"It's okay. No strong medicine was used, so it won't hurt your vitality." Feng Aoqing told them.
She knew that with her status, killing someone with the surname Yuwen would be a national affair and very troublesome, so she just wanted to prevent them from catching up.
This poison will not kill you even if you don't take the antidote. You will just have abdominal pain for a few days, and then you'll be fine once the drug is metabolized.
Everyone waited a little longer until the two could get up.
"Please wait here for a moment. Lord Fenghua and I will have a cup of tea." Yuwen Zhao said to the two.
"Yes, Your Highness." The two of them had already spoken and sat down, supporting each other.
Yuwen Zhao turned sideways and asked Feng Aoqing to follow him.
Feng Aoqing was no longer afraid and followed him.
Chang Huaizhen also followed.
Yuwen Zhao brought his princess with him this time. It seems that the two of them are of the same mind, which is very rare in the royal court.
He brought the princess here to dispel Feng Aoqing's concerns. After all, it was inappropriate for a brother and his sister-in-law to meet alone.
Chang Huaizhen held Feng Aoqing's hand affectionately.
"Princess Cong, I just poisoned someone." Feng Aoqing glanced at Chang Huaizhen who was smiling gently.
"Don't you have the antidote? I'm not afraid." Her voice was gentle, but firm.
The three of them entered the room from which Mu Youran had just come out, and Feng Aoqing saw that it was a reception room.
"How could I possibly deserve to drink tea brewed by Princess Cong herself?"
"It is my honor to be able to make tea for Feng Huajun!"
"You two are talking to me and calling me Lord Fenghua. Are you talking to me about the affairs of the two countries?" Feng Aoqing asked tentatively.
"You also know our situation. How can we establish a relationship with Zhao Jing?" Yuwen Zhao replied.
Just pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger here!
Prince Han built this house for you, and you are still decorating it here!
I'm afraid there's more than just this one house. Prince Han emptied his family's wealth, so he must have done other things! Anyway, he doesn't plan to get married, and he won't have any descendants, so he really gave his all to help, and you are still pretending!
"Feng Huajun."
Feng Aoqing was lost in thought, and Chang Huaizhen brought her back to her senses with a cup of tea.
"If it's not a national affair, then it's a family affair? I'm not from your family!" Feng Aoqing picked up the tea.
"This...is actually a state affair, but it's my Tianyao's business." Seeing that she had completely dismissed it with just one sentence, Yuwen Zhao decided to speak directly.
"That's none of my business."
"This concerns the lives of thousands of people. As a doctor, you will definitely not ignore it."
"You are using moral kidnapping."
"Yes, I know what I'm about to say is rude, but with my abilities, there's nothing else I can do."
"Tell me what you have to say. Whether I can help or not is another matter." Feng Aoqing was actually more curious.
"It's about the Crown Prince's northern expansion."
Feng Aoqing brought the tea to her lips and took a sip.
Hearing these two words, she put down her tea, finally put away her cynical attitude, and sat up straight.
Yu Wenzhao saw the change in her attitude and then began to speak formally.
Yuwen You led his army north and brought back news of victory all the way. Although the city was indeed captured and the territory was indeed expanded, his abilities were indeed limited, and he was stubborn and self-willed and would not listen to advice.
Because they had no leadership skills, they often defeated the enemy with the help of the majority and used the lives of their soldiers to fill the city.
This would have been enough for one or two battles, but this situation became more and more frequent. He had only a few soldiers left to support him in advancing further. However, he was still ambitious, so he began to redeploy the garrisons of several border cities.
If it was just an adjustment, if you changed your tactics, that would be fine, but it's still the same, no matter how many people die, it's not enough!
"May I ask Lord Fenghua, when leading an army to fight, do you prioritize victory or soldiers?" At this point, Yuwen Zhao's eyes were red.
Feng Aoqing could see that he really felt sorry for those soldiers, so she stopped talking nonsense and said seriously: "Of course it's the soldiers. What's the point of fighting when there are no people left? Of course, the other party's lives don't count, only my soldiers' lives count."
Yuwen Zhao nodded.
"Also, if he moves his troops from the border, isn't he afraid that his western neighbors will seize the opportunity to attack and cut off his retreat? It's a good opportunity to unite with the northerners to surround him and wipe him out. After all, you Tianyao are a small family with money. Everyone wants to take a bite of this fat meat!"
Yuwen Zhao smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's exactly what I'm worried about."
"However, wouldn't it be better if he lost, or even died? You can save some energy." Feng Aoqing said bluntly.
"As for him, I don't want to care about him, but what about those soldiers?"
Feng Aoqing suddenly realized: "So it's because we don't have enough troops! Now, I should write a letter to the second brother and tell him that we can capture Tianyao."
At this moment, she had a playful look on her face.
